A Nero Wolfe Mystery: Champagne for One: Part 1 (2001)
Episode 2, Season 1
A great show for true Nero Wolfe fans.

Anyone who has not read the eighty-six Nero Wolfe novels of Rex Stout might not appreciate the eye for detail given to this series. But almost everything, from the red leather chair and yellow sofa in the office, to Archie's milk and Wolfe's ever-present beer, could have been scripted by Rex Stout himself. The best part of the adaptation is the Archie Goodwin character, who is exactly as this Nero Wolfe fan would imagine him to be. As someone who generally finds fault with movie and/or TV adaptations of books (especially of books I like), this series has been one of the pleasantest surprises I have seen on TV in a long time.
